HokieFlincs_H2O-NaCl: A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for interpreting microthermometric data from fluid inclusions based on the PVTX properties of H_2O-NaCl

摘要

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is often the most common salt in natural fluids (e.g., Fyfe et al., 1978). Consequently, phase equilibrium (P7X) and volumetric data (PVTX) for H_2O-NaCl are often used to interpret microthermometric data from aqueous fluid inclusions (FI), and for modeling natural aqueous electrolyte fluids. The pressure-volume-temperature-composition (PV7X) properties of H_2O-NaCl have been well characterized by numerous experimental and theoretical studies, as summarized in Bodnar et al. (1985) and Bodnar (2003).
